I think I'm going to stop reading non-fiction all together --at least in books. I'll still have to read the news etc.

The Big Rich is pissing me off more and more. Now the author is to the part how Big Texas Oil funded and founded the Religious Right. Seems the creeping socialism/sharia/flavor of the week meme started with FDR and the New Deal.

I think I already knew that, just pisses me off even more every time I re-learn it.

The largest living organisms on the planet, the big, old trees that harbour and sustain countless birds and other wildlife, are dying.

A report by three of the world's leading ecologists in today's issue of the journal Science warns of an alarming increase in deathrates among trees 100-300 years old in many of the world's forests, woodlands, savannahs, farming areas and even in cities.

"It's a worldwide problem and appears to be happening in most types of forest," says lead author Professor David Lindenmayer of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Environmental Decisions (CEED) and Australian National University.

Sorry, xtainity was always a crock of shit, and I have seen inside it deeper than most….

Today, in the 21st century, we can for the first time create a pregnant virgin, so 2,000 years ago “god” was an alien, or a figment of imagination.

2,000 years ago Mary Magdalene even if impregnated via test tube in the lab on the alien space ship, gave birth via the ****, so no tight virginity there.

Ever since then, the holy trinity...

1/ God, an ethreal being that no-one ever saw, except jesus, so if he existed he was an alien ship doctor.. eg he was NOT human.

2/ Jesus, who was NOT human, even the biblical teachings stress this point, he was not a man.

3/ Mary Magdalene, the only human, and therefore the MOST REVERED human in the religion is a wimminz, who fucked an alien to get preggers and got Joe the carpenter to pay for it all and feed and house them.

Christianity has NEVER been a man’s religion.

Hell even the pristhood, the highest echelons of the meme, were not allowed to fuck.

Ohio State Senator Nina Turner (D) has proposed legislation requiring that men looking to buy erectile dysfunction drugs like Viagra receive a psychological evaluation, a measure she said Wednesday she proposed out of appreciation.

“The men in our lives, including members of the General Assembly, generously devote time tofundamental female reproductive issues — the least we can do is return the favor,” she quipped in a statement Thursday. “It is crucial that we take the appropriate steps to shelter vulnerable men from the potential side effects of these drugs.”

Men seeking to violate God's will by taking Viagra should at least be required to get a psych eval.

I have to keep reminding myself that these people regularly nominate candidates who stand a fair chance of getting their hands on our nuclear weapons. Otherwise it would be impossible to take them seriously.

4:30 pm here and I am still recovering from Friday night...not any great excesses, just driving home from a gig through winter conditions (only about 3" of snow, but it came down rather rapidly) really took its toll on my nerves...

A lawyer for former Penn State assistant coach Jerry Sandusky said Friday his client has gotten his fighting spirit back after his child abuse conviction and sentencing and hopes prison officials will find a way to house him under less restrictive conditions than he currently experiences.

This morning is recovery from back-to-back Christmas party evenings. Last night was the party for where I work. So-so food, lots of alcohol, and unfortunately a sound system in the main room that was much too LOUD.

Between that and the alcohol I ended up with a massive headache and left fairly early and walked home. That helped clear my head, but the light rain and my lack of a hat got me there a wee bit dampened.

So it's hot tea, some buttered toast, and seeing what news of the world is out there to start my day off properly depressed by the idiocy of our species.

Then, two years later, a protest concert was held in Seoul after the killing of Kim Sun-il, a South Korean missionary and translator. He was beheaded by militants in Iraq after his country sent 3,000 troops to the region.

At this 2004 anti-war event, a group of musicians, including Psy, performed Dear American, a protest song written by Korean rock band N.E.X.T.

When it came to Psy's turn he rapped about 'killing those f***ing Yankees who have been torturing Iraqi captives.

'Kill their daughters, mothers, daughters-in-law and fathers.

'Kill them all slowly and painfully.'

SNIP

Psy on Friday apologized, saying: 'As a proud South Korean who was educated in the United States and lived there for a very significant part of my life, I understand the sacrifices American servicemen and women have made to protect freedom and democracy in my country and around the world.

'The song I was featured in - from eight years ago - was part of a deeply emotional reaction to the war in Iraq and the killing of two innocent Korean civilians that was part of the overall antiwar sentiment shared by others around the world at that time,' Psy's statement read.

Sorry, Psy, but that don't cut it with me. You blamed America when you should have blamed the terrorists who murdered Kim Sun-il. That your reply was to call for the murder of Americans says all I need to know about you. You're just another anti-American asshole in my eyes. Go to Hell.

Kashef served as an Egyptian Islamic Jihad (EIJ) terrorist in the 1990s and was imprisoned for years. The EIJ was headed by Zawahiri, who merged the group with Osama bin Laden's operation.

After his release from prison in 2011, Kashef established training camps in Egypt and Libya. Some of Kashef's trainees took part in the Benghazi attack, according to multiple published accounts.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Kashef "petitioned al Qaeda leader Ayman al Zawahiri to establish a new Qaeda affiliate he called al Qaeda in Egypt" and also received financing from al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). Al Hayat, a London-based Arabic newspaper, previously reported that Zawahiri gave Jamal the go-ahead to launch terrorist attacks in Egypt, Libya, and elsewhere.

I wonder if we could get this guy extradited? Send him down to Gitmo to face a tribunal.

Probably not. I would guess he'll be held overseas Maybe the Libyans will deal with him. the Egyptians have him now but that might be problematic in the long run with Morsi and the MB running the show.

Morsi isn't dumb enough to let someone from Al Qaeda go. He knows he'd lose aid money for doing so. For now, I'd settle for having CIA observers present when Kashef is interrogated, and that he be made to divulge all he knows about the Benghazi attack by any means of interrogation necessary.

Arrest all those who disagree with me and send them to Hell™!

I think they arrest people like Psy in North Korea for disagreeing with the state too. :P

Did I say he should be arrested? No, I did not. Yelled at, yes, flamed on the Internet, fine, but I don't believe that he should be subject to criminal sanction for his words, and I never said he should.

I don't give a rats ass one way or the other. I've only heard that Gangnam song twice and it was only out of curiosity. Last month I had to Google it to find out what everyone was talking about on Twitter. I think it's a) a stupid song and b) a stupid dance. If you can even call that dancing. Never heard the controversial song and neither read it. I also never read his apology.

I think part of Morsi's game is he's setting himself up as the necessary evil in Egypt like Mubarak was. If he's a key player in negotiating cease fires with the Palestinians and holding terrorists for us he ends up with bargaining chips. In the long term I think it's best he has as little leverage as possible.

I'm not offended by it. Part of my point is that unless you expose yourself to these things you'll never even know about it. Not watching TV helps. I've gone through the years listening to people say dumb things about jazz.

Yunno, it seems to me that one of the key foundations of a functioning democracy is the ability to come up with win/win situations for those involved.

We are losing that ability in America, and most of the Middle East is nowhere near being able to do so at all.

You sounded like every generation's critic of the young people's music, especially with the 'if you can call that dancing' part. Made me laugh.

I like not watching TV. If it weren't for the magazines at the checkout stand, I wouldn't know what a Kardashian looked like.

I can count on my fingers the episodes of popular TV series I have watched since the 1980's: I sat through an episode of "Sex and the City" once out of cultural masochism, rather enjoyed what I saw of "Frazier", got some DVD's of "Flight of the Conchords" and "The IT Crowd", which I also enjoyed, but in general have lived almost entirely TV-free for the past four years.

The Lakers guard doesn't think much of his teammates' knowledge of American history. The team went to see Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" during an off day in Oklahoma City on Thursday. At Friday's morning shootaround, Bryant joked that some of his teammates were surprised by the movie's ending. "I don't know if the guys knew who he was," Bryant said, according to Dave McMenamin of ESPNLA.com. "It came as a big shock to them when he was killed." Other Lakers didn't make it to the end of the 2-hour, 30-minute biopic. "It was long," Dwight Howard said. "Steve (Nash) fell asleep at one point. He was snoring."

We have to face up to the fact that the level of basic learning and education in our country is incredibly low. We cannot assume that people know anything about anything that is not part of contemporary popular culture.

With only three weeks left for Congress to pass the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), one man is standing in its way: House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA). The House passed a version of VAWA last May by a narrow 222-205 vote, which stripped protections for LGBT, immigrant and Native American women included in an earlier Senate version of the bill. The Senate version passed by a now-rare 68 vote super majority, including every female Senator.

So, what’s the hold up? Protections for Native American women. As law enforcement, victims, and advocates have turned up pressure to pass the widely-supported Senate bill before the end of the year, other Republican House leaders have changed course and offered a compromise. Two members of senior Republican leadership, Reps. Darrell Issa (R-CA) and Tom Cole (R-OK), an enrolled member of the Chicasaw Nation, introduced a stand alone bill that responds to their caucus’ concern about the Senate bill. The concern is over a provision that restores local tribal authority to prosecute domestic violence against Native American women. The Issa-Cole compromise adds protections for defendants with a new option to remove the case to federal court. In fact, Issa tried to offer this language as an amendment during committee consideration of the bill, but was shut down by Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith (R-TX) who didn’t even allow a vote on it.

WASHINGTON—Reflecting attitudes held throughout his personal and political life, President Barack Obama restated Thursday his long-standing fear that the U.S. government is even now putting measures in place to take his guns away.

America has always had a love-hate relationship with "book learning", I think part of it came from our inferiority compley over Europe in that area for ages, we saw our homespun simplicity as a counterpoint to their effete, self-destructive intellectualizing.

But now we have come to actively embrace idiocy at all levels of science, education and government - and often in and attempt to prove our moral superiority.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin is asking MTV to cancel the West Virginia-based reality show "Buck Wild" that's set to air next year.

Manchin's office said Friday that he sent a letter to the president of the network saying the show profits off of "poor decisions of our youth."

The senator also said the show set to begin airing Jan. 3 plays to ugly, inaccurate stereotypes about the people of his home state.

The network ordered 12 episodes of the show last fall, and a trailer shows the cast drinking and swearing, four-wheeling and fighting, even filling a dump truck with water and using it as a swimming pool. It was shot in Sissonville and Charleston.

Happy Hanukkah Lizardia! Here in Israel we have already lit the Hanukkah lights. Then we are going to stay up all night! (Not to celebrate, we need to be at the airport by 3:00AM.) Amsterdam was crushed by a snowstorm on Friday but it looks like arrivals and departures are back to normal.

Amsterdam to create 'scum villages'Amsterdam is to create "Scum villages" where nuisance neighbours and anti-social tenants will be exiled from the city and rehoused in caravans or containers with "minimal services" under constant police supervision.

Holland's capital already has a special hit squad of municipal officials to identify the worst offenders for a compulsory six month course in how to behave.

Social housing problem families or tenants who do not show an improvement or refuse to go to the special units face eviction and homelessness.

Eberhard van der Laan, Amsterdam's Labour mayor, has tabled the £810,000 plan to tackle 13,000 complaints of anti-social behaviour every year. He complained that long-term harassment often leads to law abiding tenants, rather than their nuisance neighbours, being driven out.

"This is the world turned upside down," the mayor said at the weekend.

The project also involves setting up a special hotline and system for victims to report their problems to the authorities.

The new punishment housing camps have been dubbed "scum villages" because the plan echoes a proposal from Geert Wilders, the leader of a populist Dutch Right-wing party, for special units to deal with persistent troublemakers.

During my shift in the Emergency Room last night, I had the pleasure of evaluating a patient whose smile revealed an expensive Shiny gold tooth, whose body was adorned with a wide assortment of elaborate and costly tattoos, who wore a very expensive brand of tennis shoes and who chatted on a new cellular telephone equipped with a popular R&B ringtone.

While glancing over her Patient chart, I happened to notice that her payer status was listed as "Medicaid"! During my examination of her, the patient informed me that she smokes more than one costly pack of cigarettes every day and somehow still has money to buy pretzels and beer.

And, you and our Congress expect me to pay for this woman's health care?

I contend that our nation's "health care crisis" is not the result of a shortage of quality hospitals, doctors or nurses. Rather, it is the result of a "crisis of culture", a culture in which it is perfectly acceptable to spend money on luxuries and vices while refusing to take care of one's self or, heaven forbid, purchase health insurance.

It is a culture based on the irresponsible credo that "I can do whatever I want to because someone else will always take care of me". Once you fix this "culture crisis" that rewards irresponsibility and dependency, you'll be amazed at how quickly our nation's health care difficulties will disappear.

Obamaphone!

This alleged "emergency room visit" just stinks of total bogus. The alleged ER doc (I doubt this was even written by a medical professional, much less an ER MD) manages to notice everything about the patient except for the freaking condition that caused the ER visit. ER personnel do not take into consideration a patient's cell phone or body art when performing triage.

Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal has vowed never to cede any territory to Israel or to recognize the Jewish state, in a speech in Gaza marking the 25th anniversary of the Palestinian militant group.

Speaking to more than 100,000 people in Gaza City, Meshaal said Palestine belongs to the Palestinian people, from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River. He said the land will remain Islamic and Arabic.

He also said armed resistance is the only way for Palestinians to recover their rights.

During my last shift in the ER, I had the pleasure of evaluating a patient with a shiny new gold tooth, multiple elaborate tattoos and a new cellular telephone equipped with her favorite R&B tune for a ringtone.

Glancing over the chart, one could not help noticing her payer status: Medicaid.

She smokes a costly pack of cigarettes every day and, somehow, still has money to buy beer.

I continue to receive numerous phone calls, letters, emails and face-to-face comments about my letter ("Why Pay For the Care of the Careless") which appeared in your newspaper a few months ago.

Most people express highest approval for the opinion set forth. Indeed, the truth has an illuminating quality all its own.

However, a few have disagreed and all of them falsely assume that a person who holds the views which I espouse must have been raised in a privileged home. Nothing could be further from the truth.

I grew up in a lower middle class, single parent home in the rural hill country of Pontotoc, Mississippi. While attending public schools, I paid attention in class and did my homework. I ran with the right crowd and stayed out of trouble. My dedication in school resulted in a full-paid scholarship to the prestigious University of the South in Sewanee, TN. After college, I left to go to medical school with everything I owned in three bags. The rest is history.

Motivation, not entitlement, is the key to personal success and happiness in life.
